Hmmm... Idk, maybe you should check to see if there is a way to have it automatically send you an email when that happens, and then possibly block out repeat occurrences for a certain amount of time... what is the site written in? Tell me and maybe I can help look in the APIs. (assuming that's what the docs are called, like in javascript)

it sounds like the sql database is strugerling how many cores is the sql set up to use?

have you had a thorght of load balencing the server with the old server?

You know, that sounds about right, but somehow I'm not sure if that would be possible, I assume at least that the server is faster because we switched to a different server host. So it's possible that Andy may not even have access to the actual server and just pays someone else to keep it active. If that's the case I doubt that both can be used simultaneously, but he should go to the people that he is renting the server from.

Of course he could be running the server himself in which case everything I said is totally pointless and mute. XD

Just like about NOW (!) the website closed down on me when i was trying to type up a reply to one of the forums!!!!!!!!
(even thought it was for a few seconds...)

this annoying message popped up for the hundredth time this week!!:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: User mangable_user already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections in /home/mangable/public_html/_global.php on line 11
Sorry, but Andy's code has broken.. eer..
User mangable_user already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections

is it going to ever stop?

i'm sure andy is working on it as we speak (er, type). give him some time. I've even noticed that the time spent down has been dropping recently so, he is trying to fix it. This isn't going to be an instantly fixable problem and is going to take trial-and-error to fix most likely.

oh andy its never a good idear to have the alarm emails sent to you on a mobile i get it from 14 servers all at once in power cuts at the middle of the night then have to go in and power them back up (overtime pay :D)

It seems that it needed a little tweeking. The users table became corrupt today (Noone would have noticed a problem - unless you were logged in - doh!). All fixed now.

HAha.

Yeah, oddly enough - I slept through the alerts last night.. and the iPhone is right next my pillow. But jeez, having to get up and go to work to power them back up seems a little more crazy. I only have to roll a couple of feet from my bed, haha.

I'm using a great little app called Pushme.to. They allow a form to be submitted so people on the website can contact you easily.. but a bit of modification using cURL, and I have it set up on a server cron job.

Added another couple GB RAM to the server, however - doesn't seem to have done much.

Only things I can think of next is to implement a caching system. Although, i'm not too sure how this would work - the site still has to make DB queries to check if the user is logged in... etc - but not sure if I could close the connection after that query, or whether it would make much of a difference?
